Love It, Live It?
The yearly serangkai holiday was a blast. Although only the 3 of us ventured out, it was still a great holiday. Well perhaps next time Erni, Aneh and Farah M shall join us for the next trip.
This year we decided to discover Hong Kong, and why HK? Apa lagi kalau bukan Disneyland. It’s always being a dream for Fida to meet Mickey, so apa lagi we book a holiday to HK. Nak gi yang kat USA, Paris or Japan tak mampu, so gi la yang affordable and within our budget, HK.

We book masa MATTA fair. Dapat la cheaper price and muslim package. Almaklum la kat negara org, bukan semua selera kita and halal. So dgn muka yg excited tunggu la phone calls dari travel agent pasal our booking, tickets, vouchers, etc. Malangnya, travel agent yg we all pilih agak lembab dan bengong sket (maaf kekasaran bahasa ;) ). Memula kata nak dispatch ticket, ari2 balik tgk la kat tempat surat mana tau ader le sampul surat utk kita, almaklum la kawan tak de la nak hantar surat lagi, bukan musim cuti sekolah for kad kahwin, bukan bulan posa 4 kad raya, bills jek yang dtg. Tapi tak sampai2. tepon byk kali pun depa buat dek jek. Then amik la cuti, gi ngan Wan amik kat travel agency tu sendiri. Emm… tak pernah pun gi Shaw Parade, gi la cari. Agent tu kata dekat ngan Berjaya Times Square, ya rite, mau peluh kalau naik monarail. Belakang dari Berjaya, then nasib baik dedulu ader sesat kat area tu, jumpa la gak Shaw Parade. Memula dlm keta dah plan ngan Wan nak marah apa kat Travel Agent tu, tapi biler dah jumpa mamat tu, dia cakap lembut jek, terus tak jadi. Sengih jek la. Dia kata nanti dia fax the voucher (4 hotel n Disneyland) and iternary next week. Tunggu la sampai 2 weeks. Tak hantar2 gak, tepon byk kali and sampai dia mengelak tak nak cakap. Asal dengar jek nama Elliana terus kata dia pi lunch la, ader customer la, tak de la, mcm2 alasan. Angin la juga… terpaksa buat tactic ugut, kata nak bgtau manager dia. Baru la dia fax, itu pun fax voucher jek. Tepon la lagi soh hantar iternary. Tak juga hantar. Mengelak lagi.. terpaksa guna khidmat Fida utk tepon the agent. Then kata Fax machine rosak, tak de courtesy nak bgtau pun. Fida soh jek mamat tu email. Baru la terhegeh2 nak hantar email for the iternary n mentioned kena amik badge n sticker. So Fida n I pi la agency nak amik badge n sticker. Amat la mengeciwakan tgk sticker nyer, kalau tau tak yah amik pun tak pe.. Sticker Winnie the Pooh lagi cun n berkualiti. Hehehehe… Dalam hati memasing was praying hopefully the holiday will be great, even dugaan ngan travel agency camtu. So for this trip tak yah la tanya kitaorg trevel agency apa kitaorg guna, we shall not recommend to u guys. Biarlah rahsia ;)
The journey begins…
After habis Gol & Gincu, Wan n I dtg la Vista, tumpang tido sana since our limo (mcm org kaya jek sebut limo :D ) fetched us at 4.45am. Our flight was at 6.50am. Naik China Airlines. Although the craft was small ala2 airasia, tapi comfortable. Breakfast was served, since the food dari KL so tak de le was-was, tapi since b4 naik flight kitaorg dah hentam breakfast set McD, so dah kenyang, mkn sket jek la. In flight movie, Shaggy the Dog. 3 and ½ hours, sampai la kitaorg to HK. Excited muka memasing. Sekali pandang, as if we never leave KLIA sbb airport sana nampak sama jek. Keluar jek dari kastam, dah ader travel guide dari sana tunggu. We met up with a couple yg akan join us for the trip. Hubby n wifey. Kiranya 5 of us la jln sama2.
The 1st day mmg tak de tour guide. Sendiri la nak plan gi mana. After dihantar ke hotel, letak bag, terus the 3 of us venture out. Checked out the city camna. Since the public transportations are very reliable, kitaorg try all means of transportations. Firstly we decided to go to Victoria’s Peak. They said, if u r in HK, kalau u tak pi Victoria’s Peak tok sah la kata u pi HK. It is a must to c. So naik la MTR, mcm LRT kat sini, except mmg totally subway la, bukan separuh2 mcm LRT. First time nak naik, tak tau la camna nak beli ticket n tak tau la stop mana nak berenti. Tanya la Customer service, nasib baik ok, faham la English. Dia kata soh turun kat Central, rega ticket $33 per person. Nasib machine tak de masalah, tapi masalah nak tukar syiling. Siap kira station nombor berapa nak turun, almaklum la negara org bukan faham sangat apa sora MTR kat dlm tu kata. Kat sini faham la gak, Next station Abdullah Hukum, etc. After turun, dok la cari2 arah nak pi Victoria’s Peak. Ingatkan tak de masalah communication since HK bekas tanah jajahan British, ropanya ader gak. After srg mamat tolong tunjuk arah jln, jln la the 3 of us cari. Jauh gak jln. Naik bukit lak tu. The buildings mmg tinggi n cun. The architecture mmg sangat cantik. Sampai kat Tram station, beli combo tickets, tram n maddame tussaud’s ticket, $120. Padanla it is a must to c kat Victoria’s Peak, Nampak la all the buildings around HK. Semua tinggi2. Ala2 mcm naik Bukit Bendera la. Weather HK tak menentu sangat, sekejap hujan lebat, sekejap panas sangat. After looked around, masuk la maddame tussaud’s. Firstly mmg set dlm kepala, it won’t be as great as kat London, nanti keciwa kalau high expectation. All in all, it was worth it. Dapat la bergambo ngan Aaron Kwok, Michelle Yeoh, Jackie Chan, Beckham, Muhammad Ali, etc. Bukan takat artist depa jek. Emm kalau Malaysia buat, agak2 sapa la yg depa wax kan? Siti Nurhaliza n Dr. M mesti ader nyer :D . Letih gak kaki berjln, after rehat sekejap. Turun balik ngan tram. Nak balik ke MTR, dah tak larat nak jln since jauh.
We decided nak naik bus jek. Kalau naik taxi, org kata mahal. Depa suka pusing2 sebelum sampai destination. Memula dtg bus setingkat, tak nak naik, sanggup tunggu another 15 minutes 4 bus 2 tingkat. Excited dapat naik bus 2 tingkat yang tak berbumbung. Fare $7.20 sampai ke Star Ferry station. Our next destination, The Avenue of Stars. Where the stars chap tangan kat atas semen. Ala2 mcm the Walk of Fame kat US. Naik ferry gi sana, fare $2. The ride was around 10 minutes jek. Sesampai sana, hujan lebat sangat. Both Fida n I lari la masuk Watson, beli the cheapers payung. N beli air mineral. One thing we noticed, the price of water very expensive n the price tak standard. Kat Watson tu, air rega $8, kat victoria’s peak station $10. Mahal tul. Nak jln ke Avenue of Stars agak jauh gak, so kitaorg pass thru tempat ader light n water show. Menarik sangat depa buat. Since thn ni thn to Discover HK, memacam la depa buat. HK at night mmg happening. Buildings yg tinggi2 pasang lampu, ala2 mcm depa pun buat personal lights show gak. Mmg cantik, menarik, tertarik, kau mmg da’ bomb. The journey continues, gi la Arena of Stars, ingatkan ader gak celebraties omputih, ropanya hanya celebs depa jek which is kitaorg tak kenal. Boleh bilang la ngan jari berapa org kita kenal, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung, err sapa lagi yek? Nampak sangat tak kenal org sana sgt…heheheh. After gi sana, nak pi Ladies Market. Naik la MTR, dari Tsim Sha Tsui ke Mong Kok, $5. Keluar from subway to the main road, mcm terkezut sekejap, ramai sungguh org. Rasanya jln TAR pun tak seramai tu masa sale raya. Ladies market ni ala2 petaling street. Byk brg imitation, jual baju, sourveniours, etc. Kena pandai bargain kat sini. Bargain sampai 70% org kata. Tapi bukan nak kata la.. kerek2 gak org kat sini. Kalau yg friendly, mmg friendly la. Kalau muka cengih jek, mmg kerek. Kalau ader brg nak beli kat stall dia, langsung tak jadi. Sanggup pi cari kat tempat lain. Recent survey mentioned we r the fourth rudest city in the world, I guess they didn’t include HK in the survey. Kat sini lagi la. Ngan kiasu depa. Fast moving people and kiasu. Hehehe.. After dah penat jln kat Ladies Market, we walked further balik hotel. Letih tul jln kaki. Sesat2 nak cari jln hotel. Siap buka peta tgh2 jln tu. Mmg terasa mcm pelancong la. Ropanya hotel kat the other end of the road, patah balik. Sampai hotel mmg muka srg2 keletihan. Mana tak nya, tak mkn since tghari. Balik mkn maggi n kurma ayam brahim’s. Tapi tak tau la napa, mcm nikmat tul dpt mkn maggi kat negara org. kat rumah sini tak de le sedap sangat Maggie tu, tapi kat sana, ini la nikmat, ini la hikmat. Hehehe.
2nd day, ½ day tour of the city ngan tourist guide. Firstly depa bawa kitaorg mkn breakfast kat halal restaurant. Alhamdulillah ader kat tgh2 metropolitan. Uncle ni from Singapore. Very nice gentleman. Semua food halal dia kata, no liquor unlike some halal restaurant, kata halal tapi jual gak liquor. Sedap pun sedap. In case u guys are around there, do drop by at Shadowman Cyber Café, G/F, 21A Ashley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon (selingan advertisement :D ) . HK is the no. 1 traders in jewellery. Depa le the trend setter for the world’s jewellery fashion. So that was our next stop. Depa bawa kitaorg gi JC City. One of the owner ialah Jackie Chan. Kaya tul mamat tu. Mmg cantik2 la jewellery sana. Sekali pandang pun tau, the diamonds cukup la 4Cs (Cut, Clarity, Colour, Carat weight). Since our budget pun tak de le besar sangat, takat cuci mata tgk je la. So next time kalau nak fine jewellery tau la kat mana nak cari (cheewah… gaya cakap mcm ader jongkong emas :D ) . Next, gi la kedai herbs. Emm… tak de apa yg menarik kat kedai herbs ni, unless u r into herbs n Chinese tea. Next stop, The Golden Bauhinian Square. A gold flower sculpture yg HK bagi pada China thn 1997, biler HK diserahkan balik pada China. Very symbolic meaning, cth, the gold flower, which is bunga kebangsaan HK dikelilingi ngan great wall, meaning China akan menjaga kedamaian HK. Next stop for the tour, gi Aberdeen. Fishermen village.If u guys remember citer Angelina Jolie, the Tomb Raiders, dia ader stop kat fisherman boat, hah.. camtu la ropanya. The family memang tinggal dlm boat. Anjing and ayam pun depa bela dlm boat. Even government dah buat satu flat for them, they still nak dok dlm boat. Bukan apa, season kat HK tak menentu, ader typhoon, that’s the reason y government soh depa pindah and dok flat. Tapi nak buat camna, kalau depa tak nak pindah, they r used to stay kat boat. Well, that’s life kan, ader yg susah, ader yg senang.
Last stop, the beach and temple. Rasanya mcm man-made beach. Well, the tourist guide siap kata jgn compare beach kat sana ngan kita nyer beach. PD much better dari sana nyer beach. The sand lagi lembut dari sana. Iyer la tempat depa very limited, so ader beach mcm tu pun dah cukup baik for them. The temple.. emm.. ntah la.. tak de le interesting sangat tgk temple, ader patung, kalau u usap kepala baby dia kanan dapat anak lelaki, usap anak kiri, dapat perempuan, kalau usap 2-2, dapat anak dua2 jantina, tapi jgn sekali gus sbb nanti dapat baby with 2 genders..hehehe.. ader patung yg kalau kita usap perut leh kita jadi kaya, etc. mcm2 kepercayaan org, just respect jek la kan. Habis visit situ, the favorite part of all, Lunch. Balik semula kat Shadowman Cyber Café. Makan nasi and lauk. Hilang rindu masakan kat sini, sbb sedap gak makanan kat sana. After lunch, we r sent to the train station for our next journey, Szenchen, China. It took us only 45 minutes train ride. Train dia mcm commuter, ramai org naik so kena la berdiri sekejap kalau tak dpt duduk. Sesampai sana, kena cari tourist guide kat belah sana for our visa nak lepas the immigration. One thing about them, they r sort of agak kasar. Mana la tau depa tak chop the passport, just tgk je, kita pun dok la menunggu, then tanya la ‘itu jek ke?’. N org tu boleh kata ‘ciao aaa..’ tone agak kasar. Emmm… nasib negara org, kalu tak mau jek cakap ‘bahasa jiwa bangsa’. Tapi kira ok la tu kena camtu, ader member of other group kena lagi teruk, kena marah2 kat depan tu, padahal queue kan panjang, malu la org tgk. Dah tu, kena tunggu kat tepi immigration, sbb other group tak sampai lagi. Letih ooo tunggu about 1 hr sambil berdiri. Last2 kitaorg ngan toya nyer dok bersila tepi tu, gaya ala2 illegal worker nak kena hantar balik negara asal :D. After everything was OK, we were sent to the hotel. The room besar la sket dari kat HK. Around 7.30pm, we went for our dinner kat Muslim Hotel. Situ ader Muslin (bukan typo error, mmg camtu ejaanya) Restaurant. The food? Emm ok la for org tgh lapar. Nak kata sedap sangat tak de le, tak sedap, sedap gak. Boleh la diterima. After dinner, it’s shopping time. Since ader among us nak cari handbags, the tour guide arrange for us to be sent to Gred A imitation shop. And dia personally escort sbb takut kitaorg tak balik. Szenchen dikatakan not a safe place for tourists, sbb nyer ramai peragut. N kalau kita masuk kedai yg salah, depa actually close the shops’door, and kita tak leh kuar selagi tak beli brg. Sounds scary? Well, Alhamdulillah, we all selamat since we did not main masuk jek kedai without the recommendation of the tour guide. After dah puas membelek n membeli, kitaorg pun balik la hotel. Keletihan and terus tido. The next day will be another great day to venture around.
3rd day, after breakfast, which is kat bilik jek, we met up with the tour guide, Ruby kat lobby. First stop, the mineral museum. Bukan museum air mineral, tapi museum jade. Well, kalau dgr nama museum, kita mesti tak terpk, kat belakang pintu rupanya ader kedai jual jade. Wide selection of jades. Tapi since we all pi sana bukan nak beli jewellery, tak de le we spend our money for jade. Mahal gak jade ni. Yg gelang mcm ah soh selalu pakai tu pun > $1K. belum lagi tgk design yg canggih2. But we r tertarik la ngan lychee tea. So we bought la lychee tea. Kononnya sorg maharani zaman dedulu walaupun dia dah tua, she still looks like she’s 18. Hopefully not too late for us to look young, eventhough we do feel we r young dah.. hehehe.
Next, Ruby bawak gi kilang biscuit, emm biscuit depa rasa mcm kuih raya jek, so tak de le teruja sangat. Laju je kitorg kuar from the biscuit shop. Next, we went to the Window Of The World. Kat sini, byk miniature famous building and places of the world. Ader Eiffel Tower, Pyramid, White House, etc. Besar gak tempat ni. Sampai lenguh2 kaki berjalan. We did tgk 4D show. Menarik show kat situ, pasal adventure in deep sea. Tapi apsal dlm sea tu ader tikus yek? Emm… So we manage to abis around 60% of the interesting places kat situ. Ader juga kitaorg tak lalu, sbb dah letih. And it was hot. Panas sangat2. And to think our country is hot, sana lagi panas. Berpeluh2 mcm niagara falls.
After gi sana, we all dibawa tgk The Splendid China. Well the place concept mcm window of the world, miniatures tapi all around China. All 47 provinces, nyer famous building. We did an excellent choice by asking nak naik train tour the area, since tempat tu besar sangat. Mau tercabut kaki kalau jln, sbb kaki dah letih sangat jln kat window of the world. Lagipun, mana la kitaorg familiar sangat ngan all the provinces nyer famous places, yg tau Great Wall of China n Forbidden City. Tapi biler masuk situ, mcm sama jek Forbidden city ngan building kat tempat lain :D. Actually main reason kita pi sana nak tgk cultural show. The cultural show tunjuk lah pakaian n tarian almost all the provinces kat China. Well, country dia kan besar, ader dekat ngan India, so lagu pun unsur2 bollywood, kalau dekat ngan Russia, lagu unsur2 mcm lagu Russia, Kalau dekat ngan Tibet, lagu pun unsur2 mcm Tibet, baju pun ala2 kambing gunung. Interesting la the show. After habis the first show, kitaorg mintak nak balik hotel. Kaki dah sakit. Tak larat nak jln dah.
Sepatutnya there’s another show yg patut kitorg tgk, tapi masing2 dah tak tahan. We all stopped for dinner kat Muslin Restaurant, semua muka memasing lapar, since lunch they did not provide 4 us with halal food. Depa bagi peaches yg I rasa tak masak lagi n apples. After dinner, balik la hotel. Ingatkan nak kuar lagi, tapi Ruby kata dah lambat kalau nak pi Lu Wo, another shopping place. End up, kitaorg dok dlm hotel je la n rest. Dlm hati memasing tgh excited for the following day, sbb balik HK n Disneyland.
4th Day, after breakfast in the room, we gathered kat lobby around 7.30am. The tour guide sent us to the train station. After passed the immigration, luckily this time we queued kat lady immigration, better hospitality la dari masa dtg. Ramai sungguh rakyat depa ni, luckily after the first stop, ramai org turun, so kitaorg dapat duduk. We r met with another tourist guide kat train station, well actually dia driver. Hantar la kitaorg kat hotel to check-in. Takkan nak bawa bag yg berat pi Disneyland kan. So we left our bags kat concierge, and on our way to Disneyland. The tourist guide, stopped us kat the Shadowman Cyber Café sekali lagi for us to tapau food masuk ke Disneyland. Since there will be no halal food in the Disneyland area. After tapau the food, Disneyland here we come! Excited mmg excited. Walaupun ramai org kata kecil, it was enough for us, cukup la 4 a day trip. Kalau besar sangat, susah nak cover in a day. Nak masuk dlm, pak guard check bags, sbb nyer tak leh bawa masuk food, just mineral water. Tourist guide kata kalau kena tahan bawa food, kata jek halal food depa akan bagi bawa masuk. N no cans food. Baru masuk tgk2 ader line queuing nak amik gambo ngan mickey n Minnie, so apa lagi sebelum berpeluh2, baik amik gambo ngan mickey n Minnie. Tercapai hasrat Fida nak peluk Mickey ;) Then kita amik train ride, nak tgk apa yg menarik kat sana before we decide nak gi mana dulu. In short kat sana ader 4 major theme, Main Street USA (mcm zaman dedulu nyer street, bukan mcm Bandar cowboys, maju sket dari zaman cowboys), Fantasyland (All the fairy tales character kat sini, Snow White, Cinderella, Dumbo, etc), Adventure Land (Mcm dlm safari la, Tarzan, etc), Tomorrow Land (Buzz light year, etc). We had our lunch b4 continue the journey. After lunch, we stop at Fantasyland dulu. Sbb tak nak naik ride pelik2 dulu. Almaklum lah baru lepas mkn, nanti terkuar balik food kan susah. Beratur la naik Carousel. Mcm la kat sini tak de, tapi since it’s Cinderella’s Carousel, excited la dapat naik. Then we go for PhilharMagic. Emm.. kat sini dapat la tgk rakyat meka yg kiasu, yg suka potong2 queue n tolak2. Nasib la kita ni bersifat murni sket tak buat camtu. The 3D show was great. Best sangat. Well if u watched almost all the Disney’s cartoon u know what I mean. Seronok dapat tgk thecharacter nyanyi the famous song dlm movie depa. Like Aladin n the whole new world, etc. Nak masuk The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh, tapi the queue panjang sangat. Nak masuk kena tunggu 55 minutes, so might as well naik benda lain dulu. So we decided to masuk Adventureland. 1st stop in the adventureland, Jungle River Cruise. Basically naik boat n pusing2. Camna nak citer yek. Ader buaya, gajah, ader fire kat cave, simply said, intrigue, surprises and plenty of humor. Then we beratur for Tarzan’s treehouse. Nak gi sana, since dia tgh2 river, naikla raft. N as mentioned b4, nampak la kekiasuan meka yg suka potong queue. Org tak bagi pakai payung masa dlm raft, depa nak gak pakai. Sampai kat Tarzan’s treehouse, kena la panjat to the treetop. Letih la gak memanjat, but it was worth it. The view menarik from atas sana, n yg penting windy sket. Ish panas tul la kat sana. After kitaorg reached balik kat across the river, the staffs kata parade dah dekat nak start. Apa lagi, kitaorg pi la beratur tepi jln nak tgk the famous Disney parade. May be for some, it was an ordinary parade, tapi for us it was interesting. Byk gak character menari with kereta berhias. After the parade, we rushed nak beratur for the next show of Festival of the Lion King. Nak gak berebut ngan meka :”) Witnessing the colorful pageant of music n dance to celebrate Simba, The Lion King. Menarik gak the show. Basically mcm ala2 theater citer lion king. Menarik… plus we actually dapat tgk ader org gaduh rebut seat kot. Tapi sayang depa cakap bahasa sana kan, tak paham. Kalau tak leh tau apa masalah depa…hehehe. Next Tomorrowland. Kat sini famous ngan Space Mountain. It’s a roller coaster ride. Mcm2 dgr. Kata pusing2 la, 45 degrees down la, so kecut perut nak naik. So we opt naik Orbitron dulu kasi tenang sket perut. Basically mcm naik spaceship, naik atas turun naik. Pusing2. camna nak describe yek.. tapi biasa jek la. The kitaorg naik Buzz Lightyear Astro blaster. Menarik gak. Dok dlm spaceship, n tembak huruf ‘Z’ which represent symbol org jahat. I didn’t know I pandai gak tembak menembak. Dapat la level 4… hehehe (statement berlagak sket) . Then The space Mountain. Muka dah agak2 pucat nak naik. Siap Tanya org jaga tu camna rupanya ride ni. Dia kata tak de le pusing 180 degrees. Lega la sket dgr. Biler our turn dapat duduk, mata dah tutup. Tapi after dah masuk dlm, well Alhamdulillah it was ok. Tak de le tahap nak muntah. It was ok. Mcm ride dlm the mall dulu. If u ever naik la masa bebudak ader roller coaster dlm the mall, dekat pwtc tu. Then kitaorg patah balik tu Fantasyland, sbb ader a few rides yg tak naik lagi. Sempat la bergambo ngan Snow White, tapi tak sempat ngan Cinderella, sbb Cinderella nak pi tempat lain. Agak sedih la gak. Sbb mmg cita2 nak gambo ngan Cinderella. Anyway, those characters tak de le tinggi sangat. Tinggi2 mcm kita jek. N depa tak de le version Snow White mata sepet. Mana la tau kan, depa pun tukar Asian. Hehehe.

Anyway, those characters tak de le tinggi sangat. Tinggi2 mcm kita jek. N depa tak de le version Snow White mata sepet. Mana la tau kan, depa pun tukar Asian. Hehehe.
Since the queue for Winnie The Pooh still panjang lagi, we went for the Golden Mickeys. Nasib sempat since it was the last show for the day. Another musical theater with Disney’s best-loved films, songs and characters. Menarik gak. After kuar, queue for Winnie tak surut2 gak, n we can’t wait for that 3 minutes rides, so we decided tak naik the ride. We opt for shopping in the sourveniour stores. Nak gak beli something especially for the nieces and nephew. Around 7.30pm, the fireworks show starts. Mmg menarik. Spectacular choreographed to classic Disneys songs n musics. That’s the end of our Disney trip. It was worth it. May be next time, Kalau ader rezeki, we might go to other Disneyland. Mana la tau tetiba jad buka kat Johor.. hehehe. Balik from Disneyland, hantar barang masuk bilik hotel, we contiuned our journey to Ladies Market. Nak beli sourveniours. We just spend around 2 hours kat sana, sbb letih dah berjln jauh the whole day. Lucky for us, Ladies Market is just walking distance from our hotel.
5th day, our last day in HK. Early in the morning, which not so early la, we checked-out and when for our last minute shopping trip. Ader gak sourveniour yg tak beli lagi. Plus we are actually looking forward nak shop kat Esprit outlet. Sesampai kat Esprit, pilih punya pilih, but sadly, tak de our size. So note to oneself, HK might be the fashion shopping haven for some, but notfor us. They r cute and petite, so tak de le size muat for us. Agak keciwa la. I was hoping to grab jeans yg bunga2 tu. Hehehe. After window shopped, we made a stop kat Kowloon Mosque. Mcm excited tgk ramai gak sedara seagama kita dok solat Jumaat. Susah gak nak cari masjid ni, Tanya the locals, mcm tak tau jek. Nasib baik nampak 2 boys jln laju2, rupanya nak kejar solat Jumaat kat masjid. Apa lagi, kitaorg pun ikut la the boys. After solat, singgah jap kat Ladies Market. Totally last minute shopping. Then we rushed to the hotel. Tourist guide dah tunggu nak amik kitaorg pi airport. Around 6.30pm, we departed from HK. Alhamdulillah, around 10pm, we arrived in KL. Home Sweet Home. The saying is true, hujan emas di negeri org, hujan batu di negeri sendiri, baiklah di negeri sendiri. Air tak de le semahal kat sana. Makanan pun senang nak cari. Org kata negara kita panas, ader lagi negara yg lagi panas. Org kata we r the 4th country yg rude, ade lagi org negara lain yg lagi rude. They said, ‘HK, Live It, Love It’, I just could say ‘Love It, but not Live It’. Malaysia truly Asia….hahahahha

Nasib baik nampak 2 boys jln laju2, rupanya nak kejar solat Jumaat kat masjid. Apa lagi, kitaorg pun ikut la the boys. After solat, singgah jap kat Ladies Market. Totally last minute shopping. Then we rushed to the hotel. Tourist guide dah tunggu nak amik kitaorg pi airport. Around 6.30pm, we departed from HK. Alhamdulillah, around 10pm, we arrived in KL. Home Sweet Home. The saying is true, hujan emas di negeri org, hujan batu di negeri sendiri, baiklah di negeri sendiri. Air tak de le semahal kat sana. Makanan pun senang nak cari. Org kata negara kita panas, ader lagi negara yg lagi panas. Org kata we r the 4th country yg rude, ade lagi org negara lain yg lagi rude. They said, ‘HK, Live It, Love It’, I just could say ‘Love It, but not Live It’. Malaysia truly Asia….hahahahha

Snow White dia mat salleh tulen. Tapi we all assume mana yg spesis or size comel2 (kecik) mat salleh, kena hantar ke Hong Kong supaya tak nmpk beza kot hihi.
